He posted a picture of a scrape on his body. Is it fair to surmise that if he had genuine head injuries from having his "head kicked in", he would also post pictures of those injuries?
See above.
Answer the question.

Is it impossible to take a picture of the back of someone's head then?

Answer the question? You sound like a right laugh at parties.


How the fk am I supposed to know? He's got a Twitter account, go and ask him yourself, inspector Knacker.

I just googled the term.




This.

Apparently.
No, that’s a face like a slapped arse and that’s his normal look. HTH

Parties? Inspector Knacker?

Rather odd response.

I can only surmise that you can't answer then.

Fair enough.

Thanks.

You could surmised that more directly by reading the bit that said 'How the fk am I supposed to know?' And a general life tip - ordering people you don't know & who don't care who you are to answer questions at your beck & call is unlikely to succeed in this universe.

If he'd had his head "kicked in" he'd be in intensive care, not chatting about the experience on Radio 4.

(Which is why I asked my earlier question – did he claim that?)

Imagine if Katie Hopkins and Owen Jones had a bd love child.

Their extreme views would likely cancel each other out, but their annoying characteristics would likely multiply.

It would be a bit centrist and really really annoying.

Probably a bit like me tbh.

Zeppelins used gas balloons rather than hot air.

Still can't answer the question then.

In the spirit of reciprocation here's a life tip for you:- playing the man, not the ball and making personal slights (as you have to me) is rarely the action of someone winning a debate...

I will lay it out for you... If Jones had photographable injuries anywhere on his head he'd have posted them online.

He hasn't and you can't come up with a valid reason why not without admitting your hero might be exaggerating.

Our interaction is at an end.

Are you suggesting those events weren't carried out by those on the far right? If you think labeling National Action far right is demonising them, we're in a very strange place indeed.
Those events were, but the real far right represents a tiny fraction of the population. In the mind of people like Owen, the far right is everywhere, and basically everyone who disagrees with him. So if you're not with him, you're his enemy.

This he's so far left, his view of the world is constantly though a neo-Trotskyist lens... but it doesn't mean he deserved to be attacked physically for airing his political views.

It is quite reasonable, however, to vigorously debate his somewhat "hard-shouldered" view of the world and to call him out every time he plays the race/religion/sexual-orientation card when he's losing that debate, which is is modus operandum.

Looking at his injuries, does the evidence of your own eyes suggest he's had his "head kicked in"?
What does a head kicked in look like? Is it possible he was kicked in the back of the head & so you can't see the bruise? Or is it possible, he was with a bunch of pals as he claims, has made the whole thing up, taken a chance that the Pentonville road is a CCTV free zone, no one in the pub or amongst his mates will rock the boat & he;'ll take some kind of undefined political win from the whole thing?

I don't know, do you?
Well, where I come from getting your head kicked in meant a trip to the hospital and some emergency dental work to replace teeth. Two lads I went to school with got done in at the local shops (their own fault for getting involved with drink/drugs) one had his nose exploded by another guys forehead and the other got a club to the face, smashing 3 teeth out of his mouth. He had pretty bad concussion as well, had to have scan and x-rays to make sure they hadn't fractured his skull. That's getting your head kicked in!

I've had my head kicked in on a couple of occasions, there was no need for debate about it after, it was extremely obvious.

The way every single thing has to be sensationalised and click-baited now in order to draw attention is rather tiresome.

All the right wingers seem frustrated that his injuries are not serious enough.

No doubt the same snowflakes crying about that horrid milkshake.

Extremist physical political attacks are not acceptable full stop.

Absolutely, but is there any evidence, of any form, at all, that this was such an attack?

Because I haven’t yet seen any.
